There was a widespread reaction against the idea of unilinear sequences of stages, deemed by the 19th-century social evolutionists to be universal for all mankind in all places.
Normal stages also involve assumptions about the causal connections between different processes across sequences of stages (Minelli 2003: ch. 4).
f represents failure case, t refers to a time stage and failure at stage t is f t ; f t takes the value of one if a failure occurred, zero otherwise; i depicts a set of continuous sequence of stages with steady failure event, N f represents the total number of sets of non-interrupted sequences of stages in which failure occured.
Recent researches have shown that due to unpredictable intervening factors like knowledge and technology, absorption capabilities, appropriateness of the founder's judgment, and competitive environment, the sequences of stages may be heterogeneous in small enterprises.
Some of the 'processes' postulated by process philosophers are—in agreement with our common-sense understanding of processes temporal developments that can be analyzed as temporally structured sequences of stages of an occurrence, with each such stage being numerically and qualitatively different from any other.
Next, we used the Regulatory Sequence Analysis Tools on-line computational resource (http://www.rsat.eu/) to perform a global analysis of upstream flanking sequences of stage-specifically expressed genes.
Chemical reactions in the cell occur in a sequence of stages called a metabolic pathway.
The hypothesis suggests that the use of soft drugs, such as those above, may lead to the use of harder drugs via a sequence of stages.
Astronomical observations involve a sequence of stages, each of which may impose constraints on the type of information attainable.
A circulation system goes through a sequence of stages as it intensifies into a mature tropical cyclone.
Next, ask students to re-watch the animation as many times as necessary and dissect it into a sequence of stages.
